《Monymusk Lads》歌词

[00:00:18] As l cam' in b

[00:00:19] Y Monymustk

[00:00:20] And doon by

[00:00:21] Alford's dale

[00:00:22] A sad misfortune happened to me

[00:00:27] And l think nae shame to tell cho

[00:00:30] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:00:32] Fal to toodle

[00:00:32] I doe As l gaed in by

[00:00:33] Monymustk

[00:00:34] The moon was shining clear

[00:00:37] And I held on to

[00:00:39] Lethendy To see my

[00:00:40] Maggie dear

[00:00:42] I did gang when

[00:00:44] I did think

[00:00:45] That a' were sleepin' soun'

[00:00:47] But plague upon yon auld wife

[00:00:49] For she cam' slinkin' doon

[00:00:50] Sae cannily she slipped the lock

[00:00:53] And set the door agee

[00:00:55] Then crawled upon her hands and knees

[00:00:57] To see what it could be

[00:01:07] Then to the bells wi' a' her micht

[00:01:09] Sae loud she made thern ring

[00:01:10] Till faith l thoeht aboot my lugs

[00:01:13] The biggin she would bring

[00:01:16] And when she saw l wouldna slip

[00:01:18] She ran to the guidman

[00:01:20] Says There's a lad into the hoose And that l winna stand

[00:01:26] For it is a most disgraceful thing

[00:01:35] It would provoke a saunt

[00:01:44] To see a' the servant girls wi' lads

[00:01:48] When the gentle anes maun want

[00:01:52] Providence has acted wrang

[00:01:55] Sic pleasures for to gie

[00:01:57] Tae ony servant lad or lass

[00:01:59] Just working for a fee The auld man he cam' ben himsel' And he pushed ben his heid Guidfaith I thocht it was a ghost Just risen frae the deid He'd duddy draws upon his legs He'd on a cap o' white And he'd a face as lang's my leg And in his hand a light He's ta'en me by the shoulders broad An' pushed me oot o' doors Thinks I my auld lad I'll come back When sleepin' gars ye snore
